i have no idea, i know theres some effects in musicians friend including wah and overdrive. what are your thoughts on bass overdrive?

heh, what like gain? ofcourse, use it all the time, or are we talking about something entirely different?

yes like gain, i heard about this overdrive pedal in musicians friend thats supposably really good, but want i really want is a bass processor with many effects.

i dont see much point in an overdrive pedal for a bass to be honest, just buy a nice amp and it really wouldn't make much difference anyways. go for some nice effects pedal instead...

I think the billy shean fx may be an envelope filter

I've always liked flangers and wahs. And a good overdrive/distortion never hurts.

I tried this one pedal called a discomBOBulator. It sounded ****in' sweet, but I didn't have much use for it at the time, so I didn't get it. Now I'm broke, so I can't get it.

I always thought this process of effects generated some interesting sound:

Bass > Amp > FX send > distortion set low > LFO controlled cutoff/res filter > light flange > whammy pedal > awesome.
